As Ricoh and partners sell their printers both as PCL/PostScript and
PCL-only, there are Ricoh-supplied PPDs for both PostScript and PCL-XL,
both versions supporting all functionality of the devices. The PCL PPDs
are based in the "pxlmomo" GhostScript driver and use PJL for special
functions. So one could create an extra PCL queue for cases of
PostScript failure.
For other brands one can use a generic PCL-XL driver based in the
"pxlmono" or "pxlcolor" GhostScript drivers, but one looses the extra
functions of the printer then (but better than the printout not coming
out at all).
